and graces Of person made his future
most promising, and coming out OF
the war with a reputation rivaling the
bra4est, his friends expected for him a
course eminensly useful and prosper
Gus; but alas! he gradually yielded to
the encroachments OF the insidious de-
stroyer which finally wrecked his
manhood and made him 8 weak won
dering imbecile. In the days OF his de-
Lreneracy he wandered to Clarendon,

taiities of the Hon. Arthur Harvin.

lam dying. surely dying,
vita no friend beside my bed,
To speak kind and cheerful word.
Or bathe my tevered head.
Bet the spirit that upheld NE
Through many dangerous fight
Still upholds me in my agony
This dark and gloomy night.
Perhaps when I'm dead and gone,
Some kindly voice may say
knew him in the pride Of youth.
When all was bright and gay.
But the promise of that youth once fair
Once beautifully bright,
Has vanished in the darkness
OF this dark and stormy night.
Deeply and darby have I sinned
For many weary year,
Nv fathers heart caused many paug,
MY sister many teal.
But ] am sure they will forgive
When I have passed from sight,
And my soul has winged its way
Into the shadowy night.
Oftentimes see around,
When fever is at its height,
The manly forms Of martial men
Who charged with me in fight,
Tell them they must not forget NE,
But to keep my memory bright.
When I've vanished in the darkness
Of this deep and gloomy night.
Say unto those who faithful prove,
Until my race was run,
That the nightly King of Terrors
Has no craven victim won;
For gaze into his fearful face
With eye as calm and bright;
As oft I've faced him on the field
In doubtful dangerous night.
Tell the Boys when have passed
From this cherished earth away,
To see me like Soldier,
Aye, veteran, laid away.
Remember, though reckless man,
Few bis memory to defend;
That he bravely fought for victory;
That he lived and died their friend.

The Only Way 90 Conquer Dys-
pep~i;s.

1t is perfectly prepoSter"us to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into
the stomach, in the expectation that they
will assist digestion by acting on the
food itself. They will not. Nor is it pos
sible thus to overcome dyspepsia. The
only way to conquer that disorder, and
prevent the numerous diseases and dis
abilities which it surely provokes, is to
renew the activity of gastric action by
strengthening the stomach. HoStetterS
Stomach Bitters eradicates the most
inveterate forms of indigestion by rest"r-
ing vitality to the alimentary organs, and
those which are tributary to them. The
liver, the bowels, the kidneys and the
nerves, no less than the stomach, expert
ence the imaginative effects of that stan
dard tonic, which possesses Alternative
properties the greatly enhance its bepe-
fetal influence, and give permanence
to it's effects which they would not other
wise possess.

The citizens in the vicinity of Union
Hall, with commendable spirit, have
united, and by little assistance from
the county, built a substantial bridge
and plank crossway over "FlIttervillc"
or the Larkin Branch, on the Monticello
road, and cut bitches so that the water
will hereafter run off without standing.
A new bridge has also been built 10y the
county over the east branch of Bogue
ChittO creek, just beyond. These much
needed improvements will not only be q
great convenience to the people in the
immediate vicinity, but wagOners from
Lawrence county, who have long dreaded
this peice of bad road will hereafter have
no trouble. 1t will be worth hundreds
of dollars to Brook haven's trade.

FERNANDrNA, FLA, July 20, 1887.
To the Editor Of the Ne,os- Herald
l desire, through your columns, TO correct
what the unreliable Times Union published as an
interview with me.
The statements put in my mouth by the Times
Union are false and utterly devoid of any YES
tige of truth. While in jacksonville Yesterday.

from where l sail 10 morrow for New York.
did have conversation with some friends which.
however, was of a general character; and while
| did allude to some of the subjects touched
upon in the Tin es Unions so-called interview.
the party who wro.e II entirely misstated what
l said.
To the first place, did not in any wise con.
meet myself with the so-called Tallahassee and
Carrabelle railroad. simply spoke of 1t as one
Of the many probable improvements of Middle
Florida and, while spoke of the mauy adyan
tages that would be derived from the csnstruc-
ton of such road, l never connected myself
Herewith in any manner, shape or form.
In regard TO what said about nv distin.
guished and hOnored father, it was all true. save
that knew anything in regard to his move
ments, except what / saw by the papers.
II is not very pleasant feeling to have ones
name paraded through the columns OF paper

this denial as soon as possible I may add that
ii the worthy scribe who overheard my CONVEX.

more interesting than the conglomeration of
misstatements he did give. Very respectfully,

In pursuance of instr uctiOns, as last week sta
ted, Mr.. J. de B. Hooper, Chief Engineer of the
B. G. and F. R R. survey, led his corps from De-
calur county into Florida on direct line from
cambridge to Tallahassee" Last week the sur
vey reached Concord. in the good county of Gads-
den, and on Saturday next it will be extended
into Tallahassee, from which the camp is to day
eight miles distant Mr.. Hooper came to the
city on Tuesday and conferred with Colonel John
Bradford, the veteran engineer, who knows every
section of land in Leon county, and whose pre-
vious work along the route of the projected line
enables him to give valuable information. Two
lines will be run from the crossing OF the Ock-
lockonee to Tallahassee one east and the other
west of Lake Jackson, to determine the most fea-
sible.
Various disappontments have long since
taught our people that a railroad does not ne
cessariy follow survey, but we have faith that
it will in this instance. There Is what we think
is a correc: impression that behind this under
taking is ample capital, and a we'll considered
and determined purpose to open a great south
easterly route into Florida, supported by a
knowledge that by the time the road reaches
Tallahassee line from the orange section will
be here to meet it and feed it with the traffic and
travel gathered from the railroad systems of the
Peninsula. So far as we are informed the COM
pany is losing no time on the divisions of the

Icons varied Industries.

A few years ago little else than cotton and
small corn crops were produced in Leon county,
and profits arising from these were so prccarious
that many of our planters realized the necessity
of diversifying their products TO meet the homo
demand and 10 produce ether crops than cotton
for market BY degrees fruit and vegetable cul-
ture were engaged in, and in nearly every in
stance the result has been q satisfactory return
for attention bestowed-industry and intelli-
gence being understood. Now in addition TO the
crops of cotton and corn annually produced the
farmers of Leon county make shipments of early
vegetables and fruits besides having an abund-
ance for home USE The grain, meat and other
commodities for consumption are now raised to
great extent on the farms where used and the
local market il also supplied In addition to this
there are many industries engaged in that
bring Yemunerstive returns and afford occupa-
ton for many persons at home, who are thereby
enabled to remain here where living is cheap,
amid superior social and other advantages offer
Among the many industries now established in
the county are profitable fruit and vegetable cul-
ture, dairy farming, stock raising, grape culture
and wine production. Besides these may be
mentioned an Ice factory, cigar factory, cotton
factory and other establishments that add
greatly 70 the advancement of the substantial
interests Of the community. There are excel.
lent opportunities offered here for other enter
prises that will yield handsome profits, and
every effort to establish new industries will be
welcomed and encouraged.
